Fallout 3 - Side Quests - Customwalkthrough.org

Go back outside and stand at the entrance to Rivet City. Do not cross the gangway. Instead, face left (west),
drop down to the lower deck and then walk to the west end. Save your game here. Jump into the water and
then swim southwest until you reach the bow of the broken ship. Swim below the surface, through a flooded
corridor to the underwater "Door to Broken Bow". Open the door and swim through. As soon as you get to
the other side of the door, swim straight for a few more feet and then come up for air. Swim above the surface
to the southwest bulkhead. Duck your head under the water to see another door and then go through it.
There is no air in the next room, so continue swimming to the next door to the southwest, and then go
through it. Come up for air, past the door.
Now swim above the surface and open the door on the southeast wall of the corridor. Swim across the next
hallway and through the next doorway to the southeast. In the next room, swim east, through a doorway to a
dry, sloping room. Equip your best weapon and shoot the vulnerable faces of the two Mirelurks ahead.
Climb a metal staircase to the northwest section of this dry room. At the top of the stairs, you can go two
ways. In the room to the northwest, find some ammo, a First Aid Kit, and a Frag Mine. The door at the
northwest end of the room has an electrical switch next to it. This is the way you will exit the ship.
Now turn around and face southeast. The corridor is full of explosive gas. If you do not want to risk getting
yourself blown up, you could stand well back and fire a shot into the corridor, or throw a grenade. This will
make the gas explode. You could also avoid firing your weapon. However, be careful not to break the Trip
Rope in the corridor or trigger the Shotgun Trap in the room to your right. A metal pressure plate on the floor
in that room controls the shotguns. However, even if you are in the gas when it explodes, it may not kill you.
When you have neutralized the traps, continue down the corridor southeast, into a large room. You will see a
computer terminal in here. It is one of the few trapped terminals in the game. If you have a high Explosives
Skill you, can Activate the back panel and disarm the trap. Otherwise, leave it alone. Activate the electrical
switch directly across the room from the terminal to open the next door. Inside, find Pinkerton in his lab.
Speak with him about the true history of Rivet City and he will give you the Rivet City Historical Records of
the first council meeting. Then go back northwest, along the long corridor, and through the door at the end, to
get back outside the ship. Fast Travel to Megaton and speak with Moira.
Chapter 3 - The Robco Factory:
With this quest selected as your active quest, follow your compass arrow southwest. Along the way, you may
encounter Hit Men trying to kill you for money, Raiders, scorpions and other terrors. When you get to the
Robco factory, you may have to fight two sentry robots patrolling outside.
Inside the factory, be ready to fight Molerats and Radroaches. Go through the door on your right and up the
stairways all the way to the top of the building. Find, and go through, a door to the Cafeteria and Offices.
Go all the way to the south end of the cafeteria and then go west along the corridor.
At the first left, go up the stairs. At the top of the stairs, go through the north door. A sign on the metal door
says "Authorized Persons Only". Inside the room, equip your best weapon. As soon as you install the
Processor Widget into the computer, the Protectron on the west wall, will come to life and attack you.
While you are fighting that robot, another one will clunk toward you from the south corridor. Many more of
them will be waiting for you as you make your way out of the building and back to Megaton.
